In the meantime, I invite you to ponder the need for downtime; not just "recharging the batteries" in the physical sense, but reconnecting with the world around us without the newswires twittering in our ear. In that moment of calm, is it possible for us to rediscover what it is we are fighting for (rather than what we're fighting against)? I think so. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go sit under a tree and watch the toads mating.
